Maritime issues are an essential component of the current globalized economy and maritime security is vital for ensuring sustained economic development and national security for maritime nations. This project reveals that the Indian Ocean Rim Sates have tried to cooperate in trade and business but at the same time have overlooked the component of maritime security that is critical to enhanced relations.
Developing ethics that that govern cooperative regional and international security partnerships and creating the organizational structure and functional relationships required to manage a regional security partnership are essential elements in establishing an not only effective regional maritime security but also a successful global maritime security environment.
